Classic Medieval Linen Tunic
Summer linen undertunic, 13th c.
This is a breathable wonder that you’ll totally fall in love with! We’ve created a true medieval undertunic that is as effortless as a modern t-shirt. Suitable for men and women, this shift tunic is cut to the pattern of a 12th-century undergarment, which would have been worn under the main garb or for sleeping.
As undertunic would have been made at home, its pattern consists of simple geometric shapes. Its loose cut with a soft flare from the waist - typical for medieval clothing - is created by triangular gores set into the side seams. The sleeves are fashioned with an armhole lowered to give ease of movement. Full length, with a bit of gathering at the shoulder, they grow narrow down to the cuffs.
To avoid adjusting the neckline with lacing or drawstring, we made it wide and round - just slip into it and you're done. It’s threaded with a bias binding resembling a crew neck. The same binding covers the edges of the cuffs, bottom, and small side slits. Beautifully finished, all of the internal seams have been flat felled so that you won’t find any visible overlocking.
Fine linen is a smooth, soft fabric intended to be worn next to the skin. Only slightly transparent, it's incredibly lightweight, perfect for lounging around in. Tucked into Viking trousers or jeans, this tunic will surely be your summer favorite.

An absolute all-rounder! This tunic is simply outstanding. Both in workmanship and fabric quality. I don't just wear the tunic as a garment, I also love wearing it in everyday life and not just in summer. As an undershirt in combination with the Noble Warrior tunic and the matching cloak, I have never frozen even in colder times. No warping, no shrinking when washed at 40 degrees. Perfect cut in size M for 173cm.

beautifully made. Buyers should note that the white is a very fine, open weave, bleached linen, paler and thinner than in the fabric in the photographs, so modern undergarments can be seen through the weave - the Natural is more opaque.

I might have ordered from you, if it weren't for the fact that my chest is 129cm around. If you ever add a 3XL option, I will have to reconsider this. Also, the shipping is EXPENSIVE. I know that is beyond your control, however.
You are most welcome to select custom size option for the tunic and we will make it per your measurements. We often have free shipping sale. You may wait for it, if you like. It is international shipping cost.
Hello, How cool would this be for use as a sole shirt during summer? It averages around 35-40 degrees Celsius here and I'm wondering if it would be practical in that sense.
Hi Reiley, this shirt is made of a thin linen which is perfect for the hot weather.
